BIP32 and change addresses.

[staier]

Hello , in order to restore address keys in case of a loss , i'd like to have possibility to use deterministic addresses with dashcore .

According to this https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/10158245/DIY+Deterministic+Addresses+BIP32

i can use them if i imoprt them in to the wallet , however normal operation is impossible without change addresses. And methiks i cannot control generation of those . Is this correct ?

• Mainnet ( most hw wallet and HD wallet) with bip44 external address use m/44'/5'/x'/0/y : x - account_no, y - addres_index internal address use m/44'/5'/x'/1/y : x - account_no, y - addres_index (change)

You can use standalone tool(offline) like https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/

With 12.2.x(in developing), you can use mnemonic seed with DashCore but only one internal/external account yet.

external address use m/44'/5'/x'/0/y : x - account_no, y - addres_index

Could you give me some link for a reference , i have no idea what is it . Thanks.

check https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki and https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md

Thanks. Last quick question. Does this mean , i can generate address and set the key type to internal , so after importing it to dashd it will be used as a changeaddress? Or i should read the doc to understand the whole thing? ;)

I think you should read the doc.

BIP39 Mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys

BIP32 Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets

BIP43 Purpose Field for Deterministic Wallets

BIP44 Multi-Account Hierarchy for Deterministic Wallets

Current DashCore(12.1.5) is not compatible with bip32 wallet. But you can import all the wif to DashCore. Some wallets use two path one for External and one for Internal, some use just one External.

Thanks again , will try to grok it. i think the issue can be closed , as there is nothing todo.
